3×3 · top 2.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2022 · 2022DAVI50
Clark Davis has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.57, set at Bring the Heat AZ 2023, puts him in the top 2.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,242nd in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since December 2022, he has put 151 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 76% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.09 in December 2022 to 7.57, a 25% improvement. Clark has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
